About
Damask rose flower — soothing, aromatic botanical. Low-risk for most but carries natural fragrance allergens.
Rosa damascena flower is the petal/flower material of the damask rose, used for its aromatic, astringent and soothing properties. The material carries trace levels of geraniol, citronellol, eugenol and farnesol — several of which are on the EU 26-allergen list and require labelling above defined thresholds. CIR reviewed Rosa damascena flower extract and oil as safe as used. Overall tolerability is good; fragrance-allergic users should exercise caution.
